Boss's orders!

MEANWHILE IN OMAR'S OFFICE...

OMAR'S POV :

I just came to my office and saw that a coffee cup is already placed on my desk. "Grace." A smile formed on my face seeing the coffee cup. I took it and dialled Grace while sipping the coffee. "Grace, come to my office."

"Sir?" She said opening the door slightly.

"Come in," I said taking another sip. It is the best morning coffee I have ever tasted in my office and was made by Grace, itself. "What's today's schedule?" I asked her.

"Today, we have three important meetings and one regular meeting with our new project team members. First, with Mr Agartha at 11 ' O clock in our office, next with Ms Lopez at 1:30 Pm in our restaurant while having lunch. And last but not least with Mr Shaw at 5'O clock in the evening, we have to go to their office for the meeting this time." She is saying all the details about my schedule while I'm sipping my coffee and listening to her sweet voice. "That's it for today, sir, do you need anything?" She asked and looked at me raising her head and immediately lowering her head avoiding eye contact.

What happened to her? Is something wrong? "If not, I will take my leave then." She said and was about to leave not waiting for my answer. What's wrong with her today?

"Wait," I said and stood from my chair while placing the coffee cup on the desk. "Is something bothering you, Grace?" I asked her while walking towards her.

"Nothing sir." She said still looking at the floor avoiding my face.

"Then why are you looking at the floor instead of my face?" I went near her and she started fidgeting her fingers nervously. "Look at me." Holding her chin lightly, I raised her chin making sure that she faces me. For a second, I was lost in her beautiful eyes again when she looked at me. "Tell me, what's wrong?" I asked her.

"R-really, nothing is wrong sir." She said stuttering.

"Then, don't you know that you should look into your opposite person's eyes when you are talking," I said leaving her chin slowly and she took deep breaths which I don't know that she has been holding.

"Sorry, sir. I know but It's just that..." She was about to say something but I interrupted her.

"Don't be sorry. But make sure that you look into my eyes next time you are talking with me." I said walking towards my desk.

"Okay, sir." She said but still, her head is looking downwards.

"What did I just say, Grace?" I said and she immediately looked into my eyes, making me lost in her hazel dark eyes, again. How can she do that with just a single glance? It's like she is piercing through my soul. I just wanted to stay like this staring into her eyes but I need to talk to her. "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course." She said with a slight nod.

"How did you manage to prepare a new project in just five minutes?" I asked her finally, it's been on my mind and I've wanted to ask her ever since the meeting finished. But I couldn't and didn't get the chance because of a certain someone who interrupted us. And after that, I have been busy taking care of some important things.

She smiled upon hearing my question. Damn, if I have the chance, I would sit and watch her smile all day. Whenever she smiles, cute dimples form on either of her cheeks. It made her smile even more beautiful than it already is.

"It's not just five minutes, sir. It's my three year plan." I was shocked after hearing that.

"What do you mean?" I asked her in confusion.

"It was my plan when I was in college. After finishing college and gaining some experience by working in a big company, I wanted to start my own business. Even though it will be a small one, I have trust in myself that I can make it as big. But..." Her voice went low and smiled sadly, "I guess, the universe has a change of plans for me." She said in a dull voice but still smiled to cover her sadness.

I walked towards her to assure her, "You still have a chance, Grace. You can open your own business After completing your college. It's just got late that's it. But I believe that you can do that in the future." I placed my hands on both of her shoulders to give confidence, "I trust you, Grace."

She smiled immediately after hearing that which made me smile automatically. "Thank you, Omar. S-sorry sir, I said by mistake." She apologized looking nervous.

"Hey, it's okay. Actually, I wanted to tell you this. Don't call me sir when there is no one around and also after office timings." I told her and she looked at me confusingly.

"N-no sir, I can't do that. You are my boss." She said.

"Yes, exactly. I'm your boss so you have to do whatever I say without arguing." She was surprised when I used the same boss card which she mentioned. "Is that clear?"

"Yes, sir."

"Grace, do you see anyone in this room except us?" I asked her and she looked around the room to check.

"No sir." She said innocently after checking every corner. So innocent yet so cute.

"Then why are you calling me sir again after I told you not to call me if there is no one around?" She was stunned at first and looked at the floor looking embarrassed at her innocence for checking all the corners.

"Sorry s- I mean Omar." I smiled at her innocence. She looks like a cute little kitten.

"That's okay, but I want to ask you another question." She looked at me in confusion. "Why did you give your project? Didn't you just say that it was your three year plan then why did you give it away just like that?" I asked her.

She smiled again, "That's because I wanted to." What? What does she mean by that? She looked at me and laughed seeing my confused face.

"I don't want to see you sad after losing that project. I know that you can handle everything later but I don't want everyone to talk about you, losing a project. So, I just changed my plan according to your requirements." She said which made my heart melt at her words.

"But, it's your plan for the future," I said and she smiled innocently.

"It is. But without you, there is no future. You were the one who gave hope to my life. Rescuing me that night, giving me a job and you are making sure that I finish college. You did everything. My future plan looks so small in front of what you did." My heart sank, how selfless she is. She just gave away her plan just because I helped her. She is so selfless and very special.

"You are so selfless, Grace. People like you are so rare to find nowadays." I said and she laughed.

"I did nothing. You are just making me look like I gave a jackpot." She said as if it was funny, but it is a jackpot. Once it's finished, our shares will increase and the profit margin will tremendously rise. She knows everything but is behaving like she doesn't.

"You know that it is a jackpot, don't behave like you don't know," I said and she looked at me in surprise.

"Well, that's fine as long as I can see your smile. It's worth it." She said and immediately looked away realising what she just told. She is blushing again, I chuckled at her cuteness. "I-I mean you are the reason that I'm here. And also I'm your assistant so as long as you are good, I'm also good. It's a win-win situation for me." She said whatever her mind goes on and smiled.

I chuckled, "Okay madam, whatever you say so..." We both started laughing. I just stayed there looking at her cute laughter forgetting about time until she reminded me about the meeting and just like that we left to attend the meeting.
